| Description: |
Exploration-class missions to Mars will necessitate an increasing dependence on onboard technologies to sustain astronaut neurobehavioral functioning and performance on operationally-relevant tasks. While astronaut training is extensive, effective retention and retrieval of the operational skillset and knowledge relevant for these missions will require more than pre-mission training alone. Furthermore, limited and delayed communication will constrain support from Mission Control and crews will thus rely on autonomous technologies to successfully perform postlanding operations. To bolster astronaut neurobehavioral functioning and performance during exploration-class missions this project aims to develop and assess an adaptive, just-in-time countermeasure that can consolidate and improve skills relevant to spaceflight operations. To achieve this aim, NASA established a Virtual NASA Specialized Center of Research (VNSCOR) referred to as the “Mars Adaptive Training Integrative Knowledge System (MATRIKS)”, which is comprised of the following projects: (1) “Trinity – Multi-Environment Virtual Training for Long Duration Exploration Missions”, (PI: A. Anderson, CU Boulder); (2) “Morpheus – A Haptic Sensory Supplement to Optimize In-Flight Adaptive Training for Human Control of Spacecraft Robotic Arms” (PI: S. Robinson, UC Davis); and the present project “Neo – Adaptive Training integrative knowledge System to Improve Operational Performance and its Neural Basis for Spaceflight” (PI: C.W. Jones, UPenn). Neo leverages the operationally-relevant and validated workstation, Six Degrees of Freedom (6DF), which simulates a rendezvous and docking maneuver using real spacecraft flight dynamics. It is designed to (1) train and improve sensorimotor skills relevant for in-flight and post-landing operational tasks; (2) feature an autonomous and adaptive training approach that does not rely on feedback from flight operations on the ground; (3) maximize the transfer of mission-relevant motor skills; (4) allow the assessment of the ... |
